My students walked into school asking if we were going to do another experiment! They love to explore, and I love that science projects engage every student—no matter their level of English proficiency.\r\n\r\nWith each project, students used their science notebooks to write a hypothesis, draw and label their experiment, and record a conclusion. In one experiment, they predicted whether a lemon could power a stopwatch. They were fascinated to discover the results—and even brought in foods and condiments from home to test whether electricity could travel through them using copper and zinc plates!\r\n\r\nAfter making predictions and drawing conclusions, students practiced academic science vocabulary by retelling each experiment step by step. These hands-on activities not only heightened engagement, but also strengthened their speaking, reading, and writing skills in English.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving me the opportunity to bring these experiments into my classroom and make learning English meaningful, interactive, and fun!","fullyFundedDate":1763589834925,"projectUrl":"project/learn-science-vocabulary-though-hands-on/9903861/","projectTitle":"Learn Science Vocabulary Though Hands-On Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Baitzel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8806560_orig.jpg?crop=2326,2326,x56,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714743706386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8806560"},{"teacherId":8806560,"projectId":8961472,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the very generous gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers.
